When 2D is enough

Home Assistant’s Picture Elements card places interface elements on an image. A clear floor plan may be enough for a few locations. It still needs maintained assignments and suitable controls. A card list is simpler again when the location is already clear.

When to consider 3D

Multiple levels or similar room positions may benefit from spatial context. That requires agreement between model, entities and view. Furniture changes and new functions may require upkeep later. An attractive image alone does not settle the tradeoff.

A practical example

Illustrative example: Four lights on one level remain readable in a 2D plan. For a house with several floors, you want to compare a spatial view as well.

What your setup needs to provide

VioMio adds a 3D view to Home Assistant. Verified feature groups are light controls, supported cover functions, and display of suitable door/window contacts and room temperatures. Dimming, colour temperature and cover functions depend on the device and integration. Temperatures are read-only. Relevant entities need suitable room and floor assignments. We assess your specific scope before preparing a quote. We do not claim measured superiority for 3D in speed, accessibility or energy use.

Your route to a quote

Later, describe a concrete task and the intended device. An existing 2D plan is useful starting material even when you want to assess 3D. For the first enquiry, we need your email address, smart-home system and approximate building or space size. Plans, photos and device information can follow later. Send only necessary materials and remove private information and credentials. We clarify open questions by email and prepare a quote with scope and costs. Implementation is agreed afterwards.
